One way to overcome this would be to use the _EXTRA keyword. One of many
options would be

function testfunc, _EXTRA=e
;title=t,
;title1=t1
FOR i=0,N_TAGS(e)-1 DO $
CASE (TAG_NAMES(e))[i] OF
'TITLE' : t = e.title
'TITLE1': t1 = e.title1
ENDCASE
print, t, t1
return, 0
end

Of course error checking should be performed. And full keywords should be
used. For keyword completion, I think I once saw a post by Reimar Bauer on
that topic.
